It's heat/seasonal molt time of the year. Expect a decline between August and October. EVERYBODY is going through it to some degree or other, myself included

I do have some laying, but others are molting and haven't laid for a week or two, and yet others who are still too young. It's a vicious cycle

I had this with some ex battery hens I was given. I had 8 of them, the man said he was getting 8 eggs a da, well I was only getting 1 from all eight of them. It can mostly be down to stress, if they are moved to a new environment, put in with new hens or as people have said above, weather/environmental. After a month or so, and with good nest boxes, i was getting 8 a day from the girls... why did i give them away again? darn....

It could also be that they could be carrying mits/lice, check under their wings and there vents for any black fast moving things, i had lice on the 8 birds i got, with a bit of powder and some love, they were as good as new in no time
